In this milestone we intend to open our innovation space to the students. It is very rare to see new and interesting spaces open from existing spaces inside UTS, so we aim to have an awesome opening ceremony.
== <span style="font-size:small;"><br/span> ==Strategy #2: Formal Recognition of student involvement in extra-curricular acitivites
<parsererror span style="display: block; whitefont-spacesize: presmall; border: 2px solid #c77; padding: 0 1em 0 1em; margin: 1em; background">During interviews with first year students at UTS we discovered that a lot of students were extremely unengaged with extra-color: #fdd; color: black"curricular acitivites, were intidimated to be involved, were not aware of opportunities or were wanting to be involved but didn't have the belief they were capable enough. Many students would go to class and go back home or to work.<br/>=== <br/> ===As well as this, a lot of students also felt that they were unable to differentiate themselves when applyng for a job and felt that the only way to do so was through extra-currcular activiites, however, communicating their involvements was extremely difficult when integrating it in their CV. </span>
<span style="font-size:small;">By combining these 2 issues, we were able to ideate a solution to incentivise students to become even more engaged with university life outside of classes. This resulted in the idea to implement and recognise students’ involvement formally in their academic transcript to show employer's a student's involvement during their course of their degree.</span> <span style== Below is "font-size:small;">As a rendering result of this, students would feel the page up need to beomce involved in university to the first errorhelp distinguish themselves from others when seeking a job and feel rewarded for doing so. </span> <span style="font-size:small;"> </span> <span style="font-size:small;">The Plan:</span> <span style="font-size:small;">We would begin speaking to employer's about what they seek when hiring people. We would conduct an empathy interview about students and the hiring process, and how extra-currcular activities could be implement when going through the job application process.</span> <span style="font-size:small;">After this, we would speak to the Faculty of Engineering and IT about the demands of industry when it comes to job application, and provide them a list of reccomendations that industry expect from universities in regards to student exmployment. After this, would then get students to voice their concersn to Faculty about the needs of formal recognition in the Academic Transcript and then being to work closely with Faculty to being integrating this system. <br/><br/>After this, a checklist would be created to ensure that extra-curricular activities are monitored and thoroughly examined to give students opportunities to have these involvements formalised in their transcript. </span> <span style="font-size:small;">We would then iterate the system if there are any flaws.</parsererrorspan> ==
